Litigation Legal Questions and Answers

Litigation

Settlement Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Dec 15, 2023

How does a settlement agreement affect future claims?

I recently entered into a settlement agreement with my former employer. The agreement requires me to release any and all claims I may have against them. I am concerned about how this agreement might affect my right to pursue any future claims I might have against them. I am seeking advice to understand how this agreement impacts my ability to pursue future claims.

Alan B.

Answered Dec 26, 2023

Your settlement could be limited to claims in the past. It’s effect on future claims will depend on: 1) the limiting language in the settlement agreement, and 2) the nature of the future claim (i.e., whether any part of the claim covered by settlement agreement language).

The cost depends on exactly what you want. If you want a simple cease and desist letter, I would charge as quoted below. If you want steps beyond that, I may have to charge an hourly rate. $300/hr.

Contract Agreement

New York

Asked on Aug 27, 2021

Case

Do advise if your firm handles breach of contract / business litigation cases.

Donya G.

Answered Sep 18, 2021

Yes, the website has attorneys who handle breach of contract/litigation issues. Simply post your job to the site. Once posted, attorneys with the interest and expertise will apply to the post. You will receive an email from the site advising you that you have applications to review. You can then have discussions with those attorneys to decide on an attorney you prefer, A deposit of the charges would be required at the time of hire and the balance would become new when the attorney delivers the product to you.

Retainer Agreement

Maryland

Asked on Jul 5, 2022

either in a flat fee or with a retainer, do attorneys charge for wait time in court/travel time to and from?

Have a protective order hearing coming up. I have the option of using a lawyer with no retainer agreement, but a deposit and an hourly rate or one with a retainer deposit and an agreement. In either case, is wait time in court charged at the hourly rate?how about travel time?

Michael T.

Answered Jul 19, 2022

Generally speaking, we charge for all time spent on a file. If I'm away from my desk for your case, then I can't work on other cases. So, yes, a five-minute hearing in court might result in a two-hour bill, because that was two hours dedicated to your case. That's why lawyers like to schedule multiple cases for the same hearing: we can pro-rate the travel and waiting time over multiple cases. Flat fees do not normally get a charge for travel or waiting time, because that time is included in the flat fee. A lot of judges start their hearings by "calling the docket" (bringing up each case one by one) and getting time estimates; then calling the cases beginning with the shortest time estimates. Some judges leave all the cases without lawyers to the end. This results in (A) the people involved in cases without lawyers see how it's done; and (B) the lawyers spend less time sitting around waiting and go back to being productive.

Litigation

Lease Contract Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jun 30, 2022

What is the maximum that can be sued for in TX small claims from a commercial landlord withholding security deposit in bad faith?

I recently relocated my office and the old locations’ landlord is withholding my security deposit in bad faith, no itemized deductions for any claimed repairs, and no supporting documentation for anything reasons they are using to hold my deposit. I would like to send a demand letter to them and then prepare for small claims. I just have a question on how much i am allowed to sue for. I heard it is something like 3x of the amount, plus all other reasonable fees. Would like some counsel here.

Kelvin R.

Answered Aug 2, 2022

Justice Courts have jurisdiction of civil matters in which the amount in controversy is no more than $20,000 (or $10,000 if the case was filed prior to September 1, 2020), exclusive of interest and court costs, but including attorney fees, if any. I presume someone has mentioned to you theories of treble damages recoverable under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (DTPA) for knowing and intentional deceptive acts. While the DTPA is a broad, ranging statute, it cannot convert what appears a purely a breach of contract claim into a DTPA claim (in most instances) absent an separate act by the landlord. You should consult a contracts / DTPA lawyer who can help you evaluate the viability of your claims. Start with your lease agreement. Hope this helps. Kelvin www.roqski.com

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
